Whitecotton was passed up for promotion to Dline coach of the Bills. I think it's the correct move him.

It doesn’t say whether he’s going to be their DL coach or a lateral move. Sounds like Kiffin wasn’t actually the DL coach since his title was “pass rush specialist”

Although I have never head of this assistant coach, I wish him well.  The move makes sense for a number of reasons:

  • His "boss" left the team and a new one has come in.  The new guy may want to bring in his own guys.
  • While the Bills have a good D-line, the 49ers' is arguably the best in football.  Working with that line, a SB team, and a highly regarded DC may help promote his career.
  • It's crazy expensive to live there, but the Bay Area is a very interesting part of the country and maybe he wanted to live out there.  It has different things to offer than the Buffalo area that some people might prefer.

Pretty impressive to carve out a 10 year nfl playing career as a UDFA out of a D2 school 

 

Yeah the work ethic and grind to do that should transfer well to being a good coach.

Whitecotton?  Is that seriously his last name?  OMG...I have an idea where that last name originated from but I won't say it...

Jacques should be real familiar with Corey Luiget.

 

I'm thinking Sean saw an opportunity to make a change once Eric Washington became available. I was suspicious when it was announced Teerlick went back to college level. Whitecotton likely saw the situation and took a better perceived opportunity. It's rare for a team to go to another team to get an assistant coach to make a lateral move to be their assistant coach.
